Description

I was looking for some way to defining my own properties to be used for filtering
files that will be a part of the assembly.

I found it at http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/examples/single/filtering-some-distribution-files.html like this:

 
        <configuration>
          <filters>
            <filter>src/assemble/filter.properties</filter>
          </filters>
          <descriptors>
            <descriptor>src/assemble/distribution.xml</descriptor>
          </descriptors>
        </configuration>

It would be nice to encounter that infomration (and maybe more examples) here:
http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-assembly-plugin/plugin-info.html
which would have saved me, and probably other person as well, some time.

Best regards /Lasse Bergström

It's the filters parameter that needs some text.

Suggest that the summary is altered to "Add explanation to the filters parameter in goal details page".

Suggest the following text (copied, and altered, from m-resources-p):

The list of extra filter properties files to be used along with System properties, project properties, and filter properties files specified in the POM build/filters section, which should be used for the filtering during the current mojo execution.
Normally, these will be configured from a plugin's execution section, to provide a different set of filters for a particular execution.
